Interpretation and visualization of the results of systematic review and meta-analysis——the perspectives of decision makers and patients
Systematic review(SR)and meta-analysis,as the highest level of evidence-based medicine,are an indispensable part of guiding medical staff to make medical decisions.At the same time,the status of patients as shared decision-making is rising.At present,the results of SR and meta-analysis are mainly presented in the form of effect(relative risk or mean difference)and forest plot.The expression is not intuitive or professional.The process of evidence-based evidence guiding clinical decision-making lags behind,which cannot meet the needs of rapid decision-making.With the continuous progress in artificial intelligence and big data analysis tools,researchers have attempted to introduce visual presentations to improve the timeliness of clinical decision-making.Through the interpretation of the outcomes of SR and meta-analysis,this paper presents different visualization results from the perspective of patients and clinical decision-makers,which not only helps the majority of people without medical background understand clinical evidence more intuitively and participate in the process of clinical decision-making,but also helps improve residents'health literacy,promotes the dissemination and sharing of knowledge,and provides references for further promoting the technology of automatic decision-making system.
